Artists on Bikes: David Byrne, Ryan McGinley, Aurel Schmidt and More

The Swiss Institute assembles an interesting cast of calendar boys and girls for their annual limited-edition stocking stuffer this year, including Aurel Schmidt, Rita Ackerman and Cindy Sherman. All the artists are photographed on their bikes, although clearly some of the artsy pedal-pushers are more gangster than others—Ryan McGinley (October), for example, has no trouble dodging rogue cabbages in Chinatown, even with midnight black Ray-Bans on, while Terry Richardson (August) looks like he's never quite made it out the door of his SoHo loft with his shiny collection of fixed gears.
